Donald Casperson, chairperson
of the Academic Policy and Plan¬
ning Committee, when the reso¬
lution was drafted. The question
is whether they have the money
to set It up.*
The expansion would cost an
Initial $30,000, according to Dr.
Mary Patterson, chairperson of
the research subcommittee, em¬
phasizing that was *a very round
figure... a rough estimate.*
Most of the money would go
towards hiring a reading expert
and buying learning aides like
typewriters and audio-visual
equipment.  Also, adequate space
would  have to be allocated for
the program.
Expansion should get a 'very
high priority* for funding, be¬
cause It Is mso Important for a
variety of reasons," said Dr. Pat¬
terson. She satd It would Increase
the number of students choosing
to complete their education by
"Increasing their successful ex¬
periences.* Moreover, it would
aid students from other cultures
tn their transition to university
life, thereby adding favorably to
the "whole university culture,"
Charges that st
help with basic learning skills
do not belong In the university
-anyway were "ridiculous." said
Dr. Patterson.
That la an elitism we can't af¬
ford," she said. ■Our school sys¬
tem leaves much to be desired In
the elementary and secondary
levels. It would be unfair to deny
them the opportunity to acquire
a college education because they
i came from ineffectual schools.*

ing up of our skills anyway,* said
Dr. Patterson, emphasizing toe
